Overview
Starting in Marazion, where the famed cobbled causeway over to St Michael's Mount crosses the fabulous sandy beach, the walks take in the majestic Cornish coastline with its pretty coves...read more and beaches, including Mullion Cove, Cadgwith Cove, Kennack Sands and the postcard perfect Kynance Cove, all the way down to the wild serpentine cliffs of the Lizard, the most southerly tip of mainland Great Britain. Then track up the eastern, more sheltered side of the peninsula before concluding your walk in the pretty fishing village of Coverack with traditional thatched cottages and harbour made from the local Serpentine stone.
You stay in two of the loveliest villages along the coast and walking transfers as required are included in the price of your holiday. You spend your first two nights in Porthleven, the granite stone fishing harbour village, which is famed with the foodie community and offers a good selection of restaurants in which you may want to try the local fish specialities, amongst other things. Your final three nights are spent in Mullion which is the largest village on the Lizard with, at its heart a 13th century church and with plenty of inns, cafes, restaurants and art galleries to explore.
This is a well balanced walk and is perfectly suited to walkers who want to experience the coastal paths of beautiful Cornwall without the rocky and hillier sections further west.
Itinerary
After a morning transfer back to Lizard a more peaceful and sheltered landscape of fishing coves and calmer shores today as you pass along the eastern coast of the Lizard peninsula. Beyond the exceedingly pretty Cadgwith Cove with its whitewashed thatched cottages and fleet of small fishing boats, follow the remote section of coast, broken only by the expansive beach at Kennack Sands.
Verdant cliffs and tree-lined valleys merge into low moorland as the path heads eastwards and away from the shelter of Lizard Point and Bass Point. In this wild region, the hills can be difficult but the views are stunning. The end of your journey is the picturesque fishing village of Coverack with traditional thatched cottages and harbour made from the local Serpentine stone, from here you are transferred back to your hotel in Mullion (B).
